Brothers and sisters
Lend me your ears
Listen to my story
Of love and death
I felt deep in love
With her and her heart
The girl of my dreams
You know what I mean
Love and death (Love and death)
Walk hand in hand (Hand in hand)
The way to the grave (To the grave)
It's just the same
Love and death (Love and death)
Walk hand in hand (Hand in hand)
The way to the grave (To the grave)

Love and death (Love and death)
Walk hand in hand (Hand in hand)

It's just the same
Love and death (Love and death)
Walk hand in hand (Hand in hand)
The way to the grave (To the grave)
It's just the same
(Love and death)
